Trust beyond your own understanding
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.”
Proverbs 3:5-6
Leaning on our own understanding feels safer — it's familiar, it's ours. But Solomon doesn’t say our understanding is wrong; he says it’s not enough to lean our whole weight on.
“In all your ways” means this isn’t reserved for the big decisions. It’s the small, ordinary choices too — where trust becomes a daily habit instead of a one-time leap.
A simple prayer

Lord, I don’t always know the way, and today I don’t have to. Straighten what I can’t see, and help me trust You with the small things too. Amen.
